“Passionate about understanding the subconscious side of human nature and using his art.”
BIOGRAPHY
Through his paintings, Georgian artist, Erekle Chinchilakashvili, attempts to research the constant flux and fragility of the human condition. Using expressive combinations of palettes and textures, Chinchilakashvili explores his own identity and self’s relation to historical or fictional narratives.
Erekle’s paintings are primarily based on his drawings, often loose interpretations of his Black&White photographs. Erekle’s artworks incorporate vinylic emulsion, charcoal, and oil paints. “In my art, ideally, I want to initiate poetic dialogue between the present, or my current understanding of it, and the past. This is what is shaping me as a human being. I’m trying to research these non-tangible processes,” says the artist.
Apart from painting, Chinchilakashvili works in collage, installation, and other experimental mediums. His key influences come from various eclectic sources. He is an admirer of Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Marlene Dumas, and Georgian wall paintings.
